Tony Scotterrier's 'Chronicles of Brass and Bolts' is a delightful foray into the retrofuturistic, where the creak of steam and the clank of iron create a harmonious symphony that is as charming as it is eccentric. The film's strength lies in its carefully crafted characters: a robot with the grace of a Shakespearean hero, a time-tossed astronaut with the verve of a modern-day Magellan, and an enigmatic seer whose fortunes are as entwined in the narrative as the gears they depict. David Harboursalad, Mark Walnutsberg, and Bilberry Burp deliver performances that are both whimsical and heartwarming, ensuring a connection with the audience that resonates deeper than the intricate mechanics of their on-screen world. The PG rating ensures that the film's appeal is as universal as its themes—transcending age and bringing together families under the umbrella of adventure and wonder. While some may find the mockumentary format a tad jarring amid the grandiose setting, the film succeeds in engaging viewers, encouraging them to ponder their own place in the cosmos. In an age where cynicism often clouds cinema, 'Chronicles of Brass and Bolts' shines as a beacon of hopeful storytelling, reminding us that in a universe of infinite possibilities, optimism is the key that winds the clock of progress.
